FINAL RECORD
21-12, 12-4 in WAC (tied for first).

WHAT WENT RIGHT
Answering some early-season struggles by winning 14 of 18 games is what saved any postseason berth for the Wolf Pack. Senior guard Marcelus Kemp emerged as one of the school's all-time greats and did more than enough filling the go-to-player void left by three-time WAC Player of the Year Nick Fazekas, who graduated a year before.

WHAT WENT WRONG
The Wolf Pack stumbled out of the gate adjusting to the loss of 2006-07 stars Nick Fazekas and Ramon Sessions. While Nevada was second in the league in rebounding as a team, they proved to be vulnerable in the paint against teams that got physical with them. In the WAC semifinal loss to New Mexico State, Nevada was outrebounded 52-25.

QUOTE TO NOTE
"This team wasn't picked to win the WAC, but the WAC is sending us a trophy. I'm proud of our kids for that." -- Nevada coach Mark Fox.

Well I leave for Basic at the end of next month. Basic will be in Fort Benning, GA then I'll most likely be stationed in Fort Bragg, North Carolina. I will be on here as much as possible while in the Army and hopefully I'll be able to catch a Wolf Pack game every once in a while. Wish me luck folks... And remember, STAY TRUE!

Go PACK!

I think the future is looking bright for last year's stars, Sessions and Fazekas.  Sessions played 37 minutes and had 13 points, 7 assists, 6 rebounds, and 3 steals in a loss to the celtics, while I had the opportunity to watch Fazekas score nine straight points for the Clippers last night in the last two minutes of the loss against the Nuggets.  The commentators were surprised at ho ...(more)

Ok, I know that football is the big rivalry between our two schools but what about basketball.  I know, I know as with football, it's a better rivalry if the teams are competitive with each other on a regular basis.  UNR seems to have UNLV beat on the football field but good luck on the court. 

Do you see UNLV as a major rival in basketball.  Also, how great wou ...(more)

Now that the season is over, we can focus on next year.

How many wins should we be able to scrap together?

I have been bitter about the way UNC beat Nevada this year, and I've been holding it in.  You may remember that mid way throught the 2nd half, up by about 30, UNC began running a full court press to drive their lead up to 40.  I thought that was absolutely classless.  Does anyone remember this, and does anyone agree with me???   Does anyone care?
